House Approps Approves FY2012 Defense Appropriations Bill
The House Appropriations Committee approved the FY2012 defense appropriations bill today.
The committee adopted 13 amendments during full committee markup, but none affect space programs. The subcommittee recommendations stand.
In total, the bill provides $530 billion in non-emergency spending, $17 billion more than the current fiscal year, but $9 billion less than the President’s request for FY2012. It also provides $119 billion in emergency spending for the “global war on terror.” That’s a total of $649 billion.
